Sorry to hear that Gwem :(
Hope you do decide to get another 1 in the future, they can really 'brighten up' a household as the previous posts on here have proved :lol:
Until we got our cat Ted 4 years ago I'd always had Dogs from being young and wasn't over relishing the idea of a Cat coming in. It took a bit of time but we eventually got used to each other, we can both be miserable gits at times :lol:, but now I wouldn't be without him and would definitely get another if/when the inevitable happens.
